Galleon Family Complex

About Us

Situated at the North end of Oamaru, just 300m from the town boundary, The Galleon Family Complex is your one stop for family fun, great meals and a place to catch up with friends.

The Galleon Family Complex has been known over the years by a few names, starting out as the Highdimi Motor Lodge when the buildings doors first opened in the early sixties. In the early eighties a ship was added to the restaurant followed by a pool, sauna and spas, while a new name was also adopted, becoming the Galleon Restaurant.

In late 2002 the Galleon went under renovations, adding an 8 lane bowling centre, while also refurbishing the bar, restaurant and function room. These changes prompted another name change, altering the Galleon name slightly to become the Galleon Complex.

2013 saw the Galleon sold on to current owners David and Tania Morris, and once again an adjustment to the name was implemented, changing to the Galleon Family Complex to better fit what the facility was all about, families.
